Perry Cooke

New noir-inspired work with Perry Cooke. This was a shoot on studio combining a classic film look with very colourful, neo-noir inspired lighting.The tool of choice for the black and white look was a medium format film Hasselblad camera using one of my favourite films, Ilford FP4. I just love the results achieved by this combination, and the overall moodiness of the shots, where the simplicity of the setup allowed Perry to focus on his interaction with the camera.

Once this all was set up, I had a nice set up for Perry to start exploring his character, which we defined to be a white globe Gangster who's just had a tetrrible day at work and now is reflecting on the last hours. This gave us a range of emotions to explore, from moody and melancholic, to stark and confrontational.
